17- Accidents
'Could it be that whale is hiding from something in that shadow?!' This thought flashed through Qing Shui's mind.
"Launch!" Captain Kong Wu's powerful roar instantly silenced the noisy and restless crowd.
I saw a steel fork several meters long slamming out of the gun mount. In a few breaths, it hit a whale hundreds of meters away. In an instant, the blood red infected the blue ocean.
"Hit!"
"Great, it can't keep up with us now!"
"Let that brute try to hit us! Deserve! β
The crowd cheered! But the cheers stopped abruptly in a secondβan even larger silver beast shadow leapt out of the sea, biting the whale in two in one bite! Blood sprayed!
Everyone was so shocked by the change in front of them that they couldn't speak!
"Abandon the fork! Discard the fork! Cut the rope! Fast! The captain reacted the quickest and immediately asked the crew to cut the rope of the whaling fork. At this time, the huge sea beast was dragging the mutilated whale carcass to the bottom of the sea, and if it was unlucky, the whaling fork was in the monster's mouth...... The whole ship was doomed.
Because there are still hundreds of meters away, many people can only vaguely judge that the size of this monster is larger than that of a whale. With greater size comes a more oppressive sense of oppression. But Qing Shui's shock was because he felt the incomparably majestic chakra! Even if it was hundreds of meters apart, far exceeding his perceptual limit of 120 meters, Qing Shui could clearly feel the massive amount of powerful chakra.
Even the Hokage doesn't have chakras of this level!
'What the hell is that?!' A sea monster with a silvery metallic hue?! β
But this chakra must be a tailed beast. And the tailed beast that will appear in the ocean, is it a three-tailed? β
Because the monster was only churning in the sea and not showing the water, it was naturally impossible to see how many tails it had.
However, judging from the appearance, it is vaguely a monster with the shape of a giant turtle, and a sea beast with spiny lings on its body has several long flat tails.
It can only be the three tails.
But how did Mio end up here?!
"Accelerate! Burn the wind! Walk! Come on! The moment the rope was cut, the captain ordered the ship to flee the sea at full speed, and the oppression of the silver sea monster was so strong that even the well-informed captain felt that it was impossible to hurt such a behemoth with the whaling fork of a passenger ship like theirs.
In fact, it's not just the captain, everyone on the ship thinks so, and Qing Shui is no exception, there are only a few ninjas on this entire ship, and they are all below the level of the middle ninja, fighting with this kind of monster with a large number of chakras?! If the captain does this, I'm afraid these ninjas will jump ship in the first place...... Without knowing what the other side means, no one will come forward to fight.
After all, you only have one life.
After the passenger ship fled to safety at full speed, everyone on board was happy to have survived, and even the captain bluntly said that this was the most thrilling encounter in his voyage for decades, and no one would be spared in the face of that kind of sea monster. And everyone's speculation about the origin of the sea beast is also varied, even the experienced captain said that he has never seen that kind of giant beast, it must be a deep sea or ocean overlord-level monster......
Time flew by as everyone talked about it, and soon the passenger ship arrived in the land of Yu, located in the northeast sea of Iron Country. The port city of Yunokuni is the "Yunobi Village", which is known as the "Ninja Village that has forgotten the war".
Because after the end of the First Ninja World War, the people in the village advocated peace, and in addition to the war zone far from the center of the continent, the Yunin Village, which was originally a "battle ninja village", gradually shrunk, and it was a village whose combat effectiveness decreased with the disappearance of the war, and it was also a village rich in natural resources, with a beautiful natural environment and sightseeing resources, and the village was famous for its many hot springs.
It is precisely because there are no powerful ninjas in this soup ninja village, so it naturally becomes a vassal state of the country of fire, and under normal circumstances, all the tasks of the country of the soup will be handled by the ninjas of Konoha Village, just like Shimizu's S-class mission this time - to appease the wrath of the sea god - to clear out the giant sea beasts that invaded the ships in the coastal waters.
This so-called sea beast is actually a whale, because of the other party's huge size and elusive characteristics, Tang Ninja Village has nothing to do with it, so he has to turn to Konoha for help. And the three generations of Hokage are considering the beautiful environment of Yunokuni, as well as the refreshing hot spring bath, which is very suitable for the current Shimizu to adjust his mentality; Coupled with the generous remuneration of Yunokuni this time......
To deal with an ordinary ocean whale, it is rare to pour clear water? In Ape Fei's opinion, finding this whale is the difficulty, not driving or killing, because he has no doubt that Qing Shui, who is good at water escape and can be powerful and thunderous, will not be able to clean up a single whale.
"Are you talking about this whale often in this area?" Shimizu also felt that the difficulty of this mission was only to find the whale.
"Yes, yes, but the time of appearance is not regular, sometimes it does not appear once in two or three days, sometimes it appears several times a day, but as long as it appears every time, it will definitely attack the ship...... "The village chief of Yunin Village is an old man with about the middle ninja level chakra, and this level of chakra is already a high-end combat power in Yunin Village.
'Ninja Village who forgot about war...... That's why everything is so rich and calm. Qing Shui seemed to have a feeling in his heart.
"How long has this been going on?" Shimizu asked, wondering how a whale could keep attacking human ships.
"It's been about three weeks and so far several ships have been damaged and two more have sunk...... We really had no choice, so we turned to Konoha for help. β
"Do you have any evidence or conjectures? Why does this whale attack the ship again and again? Shimizu thought about it for a moment and felt that if he could find out why a whale kept attacking human ships, he would be able to complete the task quickly and thoroughly.
"All this without warning, I think we angered the god of the sea, so the god sent its messenger to punish us......" The village chief said this with some trepidation.
'It's the same as the mission description......
"You are looking for Konoha to solve the problem by force, are you not afraid of angering the sea god even more?" Shimizu asked rhetorically.
"Then you can post another task!" The old man in front of him said as a matter of course.
Sure enough, if you are rich, you are the master!
"Before I came to your country by boat today, I witnessed a blue whale being hunted by a huge silver-gray sea beast, I wonder if it is the same ......" If it is the same one, then this mission has been completed?
But the key is how to make sure it's the same article.
"Then it must be the sea god who sent an even more powerful sea beast to punish us!" The old man said in horror, "Please make sure this powerful ninja of Konoha solves this hidden danger for us!" β
ββ¦β¦ That's nature. Qing Shui was a little depressed, one of the criteria for completing the task was to need the official seal of the country of Tang, since the other party felt that this task had not been completed, then naturally he would not knock this seal......
"I need to do two things right away, one is to determine the identity and origin of that silver-gray sea beast, since you used to be the 'Battle Ninja Village', there must be a lot of relevant literature, right? Can I flip through it? β
The existence of the Nine Tailed Beasts in Konoha Village is clearly known, and all of them are Konoha high-level people, but Qing Shui is not one of them.
He always had to go through some official channels to learn about Mio's actual identity and characteristics.
Because after knowing the identity of the other party's three tails, Qing Shui already had a rough idea in his heart, and he was afraid that this task would not be completed.
The village chief hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "Naturally." β
"The second thing is, where is your station? I need to deliver a letter. β
